1) Busted air conditioning for over a month.
2) Broken dryer for over a month.
3) Find out that my advisor enrolled me in the wrong class. One that doesn't even count toward my degree. So, instead of being in my last class with 4 weeks to go, I still have another 3 months of school stretching before me.
4) Attempt to Space A to Washington. Wake up at 5 am. Shower, finish packing. Happen to think, hey, maybe I should call and double check on that flight before I drop off the dogs to board and drive all the way to the base. Yeah, flight is canceled. Pushed back to tomorrow night. Given the weather forecast of afternoon/evening thunderstorms, I'm not optimistic.
5) I just can't wait to find out!!!
You know what's worse than unpacking after a vacation. Unpacking after NOT going on vacation. Next time, I'm just promising my first born in exchange for a plane ticket.
Sorry about your trip! But flying in t-storms is very scary... let's just hope in this case bad things happen in 4's!

Ooh! Safe travels!!!
With advisors like that, who needs enemies? I went through plenty of those, so I can say with certainty THAT SUCKS. Go over her head and see if you can get into the class you actually need. I managed to get a second section opened on a class after I went to a student forum and found other people who needed the same class and were locked out. It could happen!

You're having a week like mine! We really should hang out and drink away all the crap! Sorry, friend!

I think a strongly-worded letter to madame advisor's boss is in order.

Ouch that stinks! Sorry to hear the trip didn't work out. You're right, unpacking from a vacation you didn't take is awful. Also, busted AC and dryer? That is so not fair.
